Quotemeal: Sep. 23rd, 1947

Tuesday, September 23, 1947

"We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it. God's purpose is not limited by your past. He turned a murderer named Moses into a leader and a coward named Gideon into a courageous hero, and he can do amazing things with the rest of your life, too. God specializes in giving people a fresh start."
— Rick Warren
